Much of the Bronx housing stock is large prewar and postwar multifamily buildings on central steam heat. These buildings have the most to lose when a boiler goes down, and the most to gain from a right-sized replacement or a conversion from oil to gas. We plan that work around the heating season and the tenants, and we file it with the Department of Buildings.
Bronx owners and managers are also responsible for the citywide inspection cycle: Local Law 152 gas piping inspections every four years based on the community district, annual DOB boiler inspections, and annual DEP backflow tests. We perform the inspections, file the certifications, and correct the conditions that come up so a building can be certified on time.
